William Olin

William married Mary Sisson 23 May 1793, West Greenwich, RI. Mary (daughter of Caleb Sisson) was born Abt 1774. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have estimated his year of birth based on the date of marriage.

Henry married Sarah Comstock 9 Dec 1770, West Greenwich, RI. Sarah (daughter of William Comstock and Anna Unknown) was born 3 Mar 1748/49; died 14 Mar 1789. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have estimated her year of birth based on the date of marriage.

Notes:

Henry & Sarah were married by Samuel Hopkins, Justice.

Notes:

I believe Henry must have had three wives. Two are mentioned in his will, but there must have been an earlier wife who was the mother of his childen.

His will names his wife Martha, then later his wife Sarah, as well as three sons and three daughters, one of whom is referred to as deceased. Why doesn't he also mention his son Henry, who had probably died by then? He does name his grandson Anthony, who I am assuming is the Anthony, son of Henry Jr., who married Abigail Remington. So, it appears that three years after her mother's remarriage, Abigail married the grandson of her stepfather.

Henry married Unknown Abt 1738. died Bef 1754. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One online site suggests that Henry had a wife named Freelove Mitchell, but no documentation is given.

William — Anna Unknown. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

It has been said that John Olin came to America at age 14. He most likely landed at Providence around 1694.

John & Susannah were married in 1708 at East Greenwich, and that is where their four known children were born. In 1725 they moved to North Kingstown, where they had bought 22 1/2 acres from Aaron & Mary Davis. John had been a "freeman" at East Greenwich, but in North Kingstown he was a landowning "yeoman."

John died at age 62 on his farm at North Kingstown, which had been deeded in 1741 to his daughter Eleanor and her husband Benjamin Carpenter. Although no one has discovered the location of John's & Susannah's burial site, probably their graves are on the old farm at North Kingstown.
